Yeah, xfstt is probably already running !
xfstt usually starts up at boot (dmesg | grep xfstt).
To verify that SOMETHING is already using 7100:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:7100 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN
unix 1 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 1698 fs7100
To verify that xfstt is indeed running:
302 ? SW 0:00 (xfstt)
13922 p1 S 0:00 grep xfstt
Cannot open TCPIP port 7100
Better try another port!
By the way, the xfstt rpm doesn't include any tt fonts, you'll need to
copy some into the /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType directory:
$ cp /mnt/dosc/windows/fonts/*.TTF /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/.
